Betfair rewards players with football and Rivaldo’s "magic" in Barcelona

Online bookmaker Betfair held a clientes promotion and gave supporters the chance to have a surprise at the training center of the Catalan club. They played alongside Brazilian star Rivaldo with no idea he was on the field.

Betfair took the magic of Bracelona to its fans who won the # MagicOfBarça promotion. The fans participated in a training and in the end had a surprise with nobody but Rivaldo, the former Barcelona player and Ballon d'Or winner in 1999.

Invited by Barcelona and Betfair to participate in # MagicOfBarça, Rivaldo underwent a transformation to play and became Roberto da Silva. With hair, beard and false nose Rivaldo was unrecognizable. And he even started on the bench. Rivaldo, or Roberto da Silva, entered the game when his team lost by 1 × 0.

But even without playing for years Rivaldo showed why he was the best player in the world. With a show of skill, speed and intelligence he led his Betfair fan team to the victory, winning by 2 to 1 and was still chosen the best of the match. At the end of the game Roberto da Silva reveals who he really was.

The players of both teams couldn’t believe their eyes when discovered that in addition to being one of the best Brazilian players of all time, could play alongside him by trying # MagicOfBarça. Rivaldo said he was very happy to participate in this Betfair promotion.

"Participating in the #Bothfair Experience MagicOfBarcelona's been a lot of fun, I've never done anything like this before! There were a few moments where I thought people suspected I was someone else, but when I saw the surprised faces of the fans at the end of the match, I knew we had succeeded. I loved being back in the field in Barça, even if it was not the best performance of my career! "
